First sentence: This paper will use a corpus to explore vague categorisation (e.g., prostitutes, sailors and the like) in a specific context where the participants are strangers, but where they share the same socio-cultural reference points and so can assume a critical level of shared socio-cultural knowledge when they use vague language.
